Every person is obligated to love to do acts of kindness. But how can God legislate that we will "love" doing kindness?!
The concept of loving to do kindness means that it is not sufficient to wait until someone approaches you and asks you to help. Your love of kindness should be so strong that you actively seek out such opportunities.
      After my depressing post yesterday, I need to send out something lighter and more fun. The Talmud on Taanis page 22 (which we are studying now) says that comedians get to go to heaven because they make people laugh.
      
Here is my attempt.

EXERCISE                                 FOR PEOPLE  OVER                                 50  
      
Begin by standing on a comfortable surface, where you have plenty of room at each side.
                                Begin by standing on a comfortable surface, where you have plenty of room at each side.
      With a                                   5-lb potato bag in each hand, extend   your                                 arms straight out from your sides   and hold                                 them there as long as you can.   Try to reach a                                 full minute, and                                   then relax.
                                      Each day                                   you'll find that you can hold this   position                                 for just a bit longer. After a   couple                                 of weeks, move up to                                   10-lb potato bags.
                                Then try                                   50-lb potato bags and then eventually   try to                                 get to where you can lift a   100-lb potato                                 bag in each hand and hold   your arms straight for                                 more than a full   minute.                                  (I'm                                  at this                                 level.) 
             After                                   you feel confident at that level,  put a                                   potato in                                   each bag.
